CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY ON RENAL DISEASE PATIENTS AT MULTI – SPECIALITY HOSPITAL

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Renal disease, including AKI and CKD, affects millions globally due to aging populations, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and environmental factors. CKD worsens over time, potentially leading to ESRD.​

OBJECTIVE

​Assessing the co-morbid conditions that people with renal sickness have is the main objective. Secondary objective: To improve their quality of life, patients with renal disease got patient counseling.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION​

The study examined the clinical and demographic profiles of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients, revealing key patterns for improving disease management. Most patients (54.34%) had comorbidities such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM), Hypertension (HTN), or both—especially Type II DM and Stage II HTN—emphasizing the need for better blood pressure control. CKD was most common in individuals aged 50–69, with prevalence increasing with age. Men were more affected than women (62.42% vs. 37.57%), possibly due to lifestyle and hormonal factors.

The study revealed that 61.26% of CKD patients had social habits such as alcohol use (most common), smoking, and tobacco use. A large number were in Stage 5 CKD, indicating end-stage renal disease. Anemia was highly prevalent, affecting 82.66% of patients, underscoring the need for effective anemia management to slow CKD progression and reduce complications. 

CONCLUSION

Co-morbidities, particularly Type II diabetes and Stage 2 hypertension, are major risk factors for CKD, which is increasingly common among the elderly. Men are more frequently affected, likely due to social behaviors. Anemia is prevalent in most CKD patients.
